Art Gallery of Ontario
An Experience to Remember
The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) collection features more than 120,000 works, ranging from cutting-edge contemporary art, such as Yayoi Kusama’s Infinity Mirrored Room — Let’s Survive Forever to European masterpieces, including Peter Paul Rubens’ The Massacre of the Innocents. Works by established and emerging Indigenous Canadian artists shine alongside the extensive Group of Seven collection. The photography holdings trace the evolution and impact of the medium with significant works by artists such as Garry Winogrand and Diane Arbus. Focused collections of Gothic boxwood miniatures and Western and Central African art further enrich the AGO’s multifaceted galleries.
